I saw these gorgeous magnolia file folders in Dollar Tree the other day, and I just knew they would make some gorgeous paper gifts. So I made up an entire set.
First of all, there is the journal:
This is a composition book base, but it's elevated far beyond the grade school copying you may remember. The front has this gorgeous image (above), while the back has a really neat coordinating stripe (below):
The edges are bound with a green paper and there is an attached peach grosgrain ribbon inside to keep your place.
Speaking of the inside, here is how I covered up those ugly multiplication charts:
I accidentally cut my lining papers a little too short, but it ended up being a happy accident. I had to "think outside the box," and ended up using scraps of the stripe to fill in the gaps. I really like how it turned out! The front and back inside covers are decorated exactly alike.
Next up is the spiral-bound notebook (one subject, college-ruled, in case you're interested):
This has the same decorative cover ...
AND decorative back. The original spiral-bound notebook had a pretty flimsy back, so I went ahead and replaced it with this pretty one.
The inside covers are pretty, too, since the file folders have this gorgeous peachy-pink color inside:
Lastly are the two mini legal pads covered with more of this gorgeous magnolia print:
These are 5x8" and look like this when you flip up the cover:
I have always loved paper, so I tried to think of what would thrill me as a pretty (yet practical) gift. Let me tell you, this would have me nearly squealing in delight.
Best of all, as I mentioned, these are all very practical gifts. They're perfect for the person who "has everything" and doesn't want any more knick knacks to take up space in their house.
I hope you enjoy this little gift set! I hope to have another gift set ready very soon.
